Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I have had zero success at my local car audio shops trying to sort out if the speakers in my car can be upgraded without having to use an aftermarket amp/crossover/coils. So, Here is what I have: 07 S with bose Kenwood DDX8706S headunit with Kenwood CMOS-230 rear cam Axxess AX-PO90052 Fibre optic wiring interface No speakers have been upgraded. I have tweeters in the dash and an upper and lower door speaker as pictured here I am fine with the giant disaster speaker bar behind the headrests. My main concern from the getgo when upgrading the head unit was mainly for a rear camera to help with blind spots and parking on my lift. But... Down the rabbit hole we go. I would like to upgrade my speakers, with the understanding that I do drive a convertible.... any upgrade is still going to have minimal gains compared to owning a coupe. So, electronic audio yodii... none of the shops here wanted to even bother. Immediate reply if they even answered the phone was.... nope, we only do amp/zillion dollar wiring/snooty crossover custom panel work. I like OEM. So ideally looking for something that fits in the stock location and appears that it hasn't been altered. Am I dreaming? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Because the Bose amp uses low impedance speakers, you must replace the entire system - amp, speakers, etc. if you want to upgrade anything.

POST 4Original post

Yeah, I guess this is the answer. We took the easy path in keeping the Bose amp , sub, and speakers with a MOST interface. If the speakers themselves are unsatisfactory, then you'll need to go all the way and get a different amp, remove the Bose fiber optic components, and install regular (8 ohm?) speakers, driven by the new amp fed by your existing head unit. Might as well install some Dynamat while you're at it. Hopefully the Bose stock speaker wring is satisfactory for this. If I could just eliminate the alternator whine from my aftermarket head unit install, I would be happy. My Android head unit with the stock speakers sounds fantastic, as I am not an audiophile.

so what did you do. I have a 307 987.1 and can’t turn on the Bose amp!
